Apple releases iOS 18.5, macOS 15.5, more
Today Apple released updates for all of their OS software. These releases include many bug, security, and performance improvements. So I recommend everyone update as soon as you are able. This is likely one of the final refinement updates before Apple turns its attention toward iOS 19 and macOS 16, which will be officially announced on June 9 and will be released in September or October.

Getting started with ChatGPT
If you've ever wished you had a friendly expert sitting beside you, ready to help you write, brainstorm, answer questions, or explain confusing topics, that's essentially what ChatGPT is. It's like having a super-smart assistant who never sleeps and doesn't mind being asked the same question a dozen different ways. What is AI? It seems like everyone is talking about AI lately as if it's a brand-new thing.

Find and Share Wi-Fi Network Passwords
A neat feature built into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS is that your devices will offer to share the Wi-Fi password if others near you try to connect to a network your devices know. However, for this feature to work, they must be in your Contacts, have an Apple device, and at times, it doesn’t activate as quickly or reliably as you’d like.

With iOS 18.2 and Later, You Can Share the Location of Lost Items in Find My
In iOS 18.2, Apple enhanced the Find My app, enabling you to create a temporary link that shares the location of a lost AirTag or other Find My-tracked item. You don’t need to know the person’s email address or share any other information, and the link automatically expires after a week. It’s a great way to enlist others in the search for a lost item, but the big win is sharing with an airline to help them track the location of misdirected luggage.
